The Japanese yen weakened to around 156 per dollar, hitting that level for the first time since May 1990 as the Bank of Japan held interest rates steady despite pressure from a sharply falling currency, as widely expected. Meanwhile, the central bank dropped wording on buying the same amount of bonds as before, revised its inflation forecasts higher and said the economy will likely keep growing at a healthy pace. Investors also reacted to data showing Tokyo’s core inflation rate slowed to a 2-year low of 1.6% in April due largely to distortions from the start of education subsidies. The yen lost about 10% against the dollar so far this year as the BOJ held rates at near-zero levels despite elevated interest rates in other major economies, prompting traders to borrow yen and invest in higher-yielding currencies. Markets continued to watch for signals from Japanese authorities on whether they would intervene in the currency markets again to arrest the yen’s slide.

The Bank of Japan kept its key short-term interest rate unchanged at around 0% to 0.1% at its April meeting, as widely expected, after delivering the first rate hike since 2007 and ending its eight years of negative rates in March. The central bank also said it will continue to conduct bond purchases, in line with the March decision. Friday's statement scrapped a reference that the BoJ had purchased about JPY 6 trillion per month in the past. In a quarterly outlook, the committee revised higher CPI prints for FY 2024 to 2.8% from January's projections of 2.4%, due to the waning effects of higher import prices and fewer government support measures. For 2025, the board expects core inflation to hit 1.9%, slightly higher than its earlier estimates of 1.8%, reflecting a recent rise in oil prices. On the GDP front, policymakers cut their 2023 growth forecast to 1.3% from 1.8%. For FY 2024, the bank also slashed its GDP outlook to 0.8% from 1.2%, mainly reflecting lower private consumption.

The dollar index steadied around 105.6 on Friday as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of a key US inflation reading for March that could provide more clues on the path for Federal Reserve monetary policy. On Thursday, the index slid to near two-week lows as data showed that the US economy expanded an annualized 1.6% in Q1 2024, well below forecasts of 2.5% and the lowest growth in about two years. Meanwhile, the same report showed that underlying inflation accelerated in the first quarter, while the latest jobless claims continued to point to a tight labor market, clouding the outlook for potential Fed rate cuts this year. The dollar nursed losses against most major currencies, but hovered 34-year highs against the yen as the Bank of Japan decides on monetary policy.

Hong Kong's shares soared 265 points or 1.57% to 17,555 in the morning session on Friday, up for the fifth session amid solid gains from all sectors. While notching the highest level in 5 months, the Hang Seng is heading for an over 8% jump weekly, which could be the highest gain since late October of 2022, boosted by further optimism that China will deliver more expansionary policies to spur robust recovery this year. In addition, some major investment banks, Goldman Sachs and UBS, have upgraded their outlook on China and Hong Kong's equities citing potential reforms, strong earnings, and fiscal support. Elsewhere, US futures rose modestly amid ongoing earnings seasons where nearly 80% of results beat market expectations. On the trade front, exports and imports in Hong Kong rebounded last month, despite the rate of growth in purchases faster than in shipments. Some bellwether in the index logged sharp advances, including Tencent Hlds. (1.9%), Meituan (2.9%), and JD.Com (3.1%).

The benchmark KOSPI rose 1.3% to around 2,662 points in early trade on Friday, reversing losses in the previous session and setting for a weekly rise, boosted by increases from financials. Gains in finance shares were led by KB Financial (8.4%) despite posting a 30.5% year-on-year drop in net profit in the first quarter of 2024 due to compensation disbursed for investor losses incurred from troubled Hong Kong-tied derivative products. Tracking the gains were its peers, Shinhan Financial (6%), Hana Financial (6.5%), and Samsung Life (3.1%). Also, chipmakers saw an increase, following strong earnings reports from US tech companies, with Samsung Electronics rising 1.3% and SK Hynix advancing 3.2%. On the economic data front, South Korea’s business survey index for the manufacturing sector increased to 73 in April, up from 71 in the prior month and marking its highest reading since June 2023.
